We've only recently discovered that the system doesn't work in that regard. It's because Administrators activate accounts rather than members (to prevent spamming) and so when a reactivation e-mail comes through, it doesn't differentiate between new members and old ones.

To top it off, the e-mails they send us only include a link that says 'Activate'. Since we don't blindly activate, we usually disregard the e-mails, leading to the problems mentioned here.

I think now is the time to thank all the brilliant staff who devote so much of their time to make sure we can all have fun here! Thanks guys!_________________My site which can only be described as terrible. I also haz Flickr and BrickShelf.
